Answer 1

the answer is 25, 35, and 45 miles

Answer 2

`25,35\ and\ 45\ miles`

Explanation:

we know that

The scale factor of the map is equal to

`(1)/(5) (inch)/(miles)`

That means------>
`1\ in` on the map is equal to
`5\ miles` in the actual

To convert the distance in miles, multiply the measure in inches by
`5`

so

`5\ in=5*5=25\ miles`

`7\ in=7*5=35\ miles`

`9\ in=9*5=45\ miles`
